Golf in Benton

Bossier Parish surrounds the city of Bossier City and extends northward into the red-clay piney hills of northwest Louisiana, where the landscape starts to feel more like east Texas than the bayou country most people associate with the state. Benton serves as the Bossier Parish seat, a smaller, quieter complement to the city's casino-driven commercial energy. Palmetto Country Club takes its name from the native palmettos that fringe streams and wet areas in this part of the state, a private facility serving the parish's established residential community. The northwest Louisiana climate offers some of the state's most comfortable golf in spring and fall, with less humidity than the coastal zones.
